Java Stream Keyboard Input

Question

I am writing a program that takes commands via the console.

However, I do not want to press "enter" in order to send that command.

I want the code to constantly monitor what I am entering, and execute the code when I am finished.

The commands are coming as text from a speech recognition program, therefore, eliminating the need for the "enter" stroke is pretty key.

Any one have any ideas?

Answer 1

I have recently come to the knowledge of events in java and i believe this would help you. You would just need to associate the speech recognition printing to the screen with an event in java and it would have a listener to listen for the event and when it sees the event it would execute your desired code. I currently have a thread opened where im trying to get some good examples of this, perhaps that will help.

No portable way to do it, depends on your platform.
